tif) Pentecost Sunday Living Faith in May: John 20: 19-23 Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven. Jesus always modeled forgiveness, even on the cross. How does his example help you to forgive? Reflect on a time recently when you have been hurt by someone. Can the Holy Spirit help in beginning the process of forgiving that person? As forgiveness is divine, how can we forgive through the power of the Holy Spirit?

Thanks to the tremendous effort and generosity of all of the parishes in the diocese, the Rooted in Faith - Forward in Hope campaign has surpassed its goal, raising over $170 million in pledges. Some of this money was available in the form of grants to Catholic schools for technology, curriculum, and capital improvements.
